Publisher's summary

In the town of Gainesville, Cooper Fox has a special place in people’s hearts. Since the car accident that wiped his memories, Cooper has been...a little foggy. Cooper doesn’t know how to do much, but one thing he instinctively seems to know about is strength training, and with his help, Gainesville High’s football team has just won the Mid-States final. With Cooper the hero of the hour, the whole town is getting ready to celebrate in style. 

When three strangers crash the party and decide to pick on the harmless-looking guy carrying a cooler full of sodas, they trigger something inside Cooper. Afterwards, the folks in Gainesville can never look at him in quite the same way. Is he really just a regular guy who suffered a brain injury in a car crash, or is he someone else? Or something else?  

As Cooper tries to come to terms with baffling new memories, he’s about to be plunged into a terrifying world of secret experiments and covert assassins that will test his new-found abilities to the limit.

Twists and Turns

This one hit me in so many places it hurts. The theme of the story, if you aren't a super human, empathy is a burden. People hate you for it.

Good story but obvious

Great listen except for the overplay of the cognitive degradation aspect. The performance during this period is not automatically receptive.

An Unusual Thriller

The beginning of the book is entirely different from the middle in tone. The main character changes dramatically. I enjoyed watching his growth. The ending leaves the reader wanting to know more.

Excellent story

This had so many twists and turns. It is very well written and, sadly, very believable. This story is very up to date.
Thanks to Dan Boehner for an outstanding performance.

Not bad

A little easy to predict but overall an interesting story with decent characters. It can probably stand as a stand alone. I can’t say I’m dying to see what happens next. But I would read it.

Where is the sequel?????

I enjoyed the book, but it just stops….even books with sequels usually wrap up better than this one did. It was a stretch of imagination to start and the sequel-less non-ending implies it was too much of a stretch for Birmingham. Hope he finishes his story one day.

TO MUCH SWEARING

I understand some swearing to much makes them not intelligent.

Little bit of way out there hard to grasp.

Excellent book, amazing narrator

This isn't my normal genre, but I loved the other books this author had written so I gave it a try. I could not stop listening, it was so good I just had to find out the ending ASAP. Characters were likable (hard to find these days) and plot moved at perfect pace.
